Making His Music

Bible in a Year:

We all . . . are being transformed into his image.

2 Corinthians 3:18 Choir director Arianne Abela spent her childhood sitting on her hands—to hide them. Born with fingers missing or fused together on both hands, she also had no left leg and was missing toes on her right foot. A music lover and lyric soprano, she’d planned to major in government at Smith College. But one day her choir teacher asked her to conduct the choir, which made her hands quite visible. From that moment, she found her career, going on to conduct church choirs and serving now as director of choirs at another university. “My teachers saw something in me,” Abela explains.

Her inspiring story invites believers to ask, What does God, our holy Teacher, see in us, regardless of our “limits”? More than anything, He sees Himself. “So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27 nlt).

As His glorious “image bearers,” when others see us, we should reflect Him. For Abela, that means Jesus, not her hands—or her lack of fingers—matters most. The same is true for all believers. “And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image,” says 2 Corinthians 3:18.

Similar to Abela, we can conduct our lives by Christ’s transforming power (v. 18), offering a life song that rings out to the honor of God.

By:  Patricia Raybon Reflect & Pray

How does knowing you are God’s “image-bearer” help you to see yourself differently? How does it help you in your interactions with others?

Thank You, God, for making me in Your image. Help me to apply this fact to all of my life.

No smoke today, 4” of snow. The fire got within 13 miles of me then the snow got it. 106,000 acres burnt of which 2/3 burnt in a little over a day.

Good evening, radu...you are quick tonight!!

What are the prospects of rain any time soon?

Right now we have beautiful blue sky, but the sun has been going in and out all day, along with REALLY windy weather for an hour or so. And my deck is filling up with leaves...they are turning to gold.

Hey there, Kathy.

I was lucky enough to get to sit down a little earlier than usual this evening. LOL

Might get some rain this weekend but how much is up in the air.

I noticed it was pretty blustery up there earlier today when I skipped through the cam stream. The lake was really choppy for a while but it’s almost smooth as glass now.
I can see some of the trees are beginning to turn.

Delightfully cool mornings, sometimes muggy afternoons.

Way too dry...not much green in the forest understory. PA doesn’t have a “wildfire season” like the west coast but I’m beginning to understand that it COULD happen.
